Despite the title, don’t expect to see Peter Pan. This double bill at the West End Theater consists of “Cinderella” and “Snow White,” presented in repertory by Frog and Peach Theater Company. Both adaptations are written and directed by Lynnea Benson, who has reimagined these classic tales: Cinderella plays Crazy Eights and discusses ornithology with the Prince, and Snow White has a terrible temper and hides out with the Seven Little Guys, who have names like Beasty and Stoolie. Soft puppets play some of the roles in both pieces, which include songs by Ted Zurkowski and are followed by puppet-making workshops; each theatergoer should bring an old sock, or parents can buy an optional puppet kit for $10.
